Appendix 81 Article 4 rule change

A recent rule change passed by the Motorsport Commission, will now allow holders of an Irish Drift Championship​ Pro Licence the opportunity to gain an probationary National A Speed licence allowing them to use their drift cars in the Irish Hillclimb & Sprint Championship​.

The following criteria must be met:

Applicants will use the Motorsport Ireland first time licence application form for their new probationary licence. As with all first time competition licences, that means a medical must be completed.

Applicants must write that they are applying for a “probationary National A Speed licence” on the form.

Motorsport Ireland will charge the first time licence fee including levy with the applicants Pro Drift licence counting as a club stamp. For year 1, this means the licence will cost €90 total. Subsequent years will be will be at renewal rates. Applicants are reminded that the split year licence option is available for this category of licence.

In the event of the probationary licence being suspended or regraded to a National B licence, the licence must be returned to the MI office with an explanation from Hillclimb and Sprint Committee.

Finishes under this probationary licence count towards a licence upgrade.
